I sincerely hope not! You pass like a shot - after all, if you could have doubled 2 for penalties no doubt you would. You lead your singleton diamond which North wins with Q and he proceeds to cash ace and king too, so you throw two spades. East ruffs a fourth diamond with 6, so you over-ruff and exit with your last spade. Partner, bless him, wins the next trick with A and leads a spade for you to ruff, and you still have KJ to guarantee +800. In the post mortem, a highly appropriate label in this case, East whined ". but I had 12 points, partner!". Don't EVER get caught overcalling at the two level with a hand like East's - it's a disgusting.bid that received its just desert. And yes, just desert is spelled as I intended. :-)
